SUMMER HEAT EERE AND ELsEwHERF,

A leading New York paper, referring to
the great heat that so recently affected the
East, says: "The most Objectionable feat
ure of the humid heat, of which we have
had so much lately, is that it tends to
cheek perSpiration. Very great extremes
of heat can be endured if perspiration is
kept up. Dry heat is easily endurable be-
cause in such weather the pores are active
Thus everybody knows that much greater
degree of heat can be borne in a Turkish
bath than in a Russian bath, a Turkish
being hot air and Russian bath steam.
In Turkish bath the temperature very
nearly reaches the boiling point. Almost
Is great heat is endured by men who
work inside the large rollers which are
being made for ocean steamers. The metal
OF these boilers is heated nearly red no.
Men are able TO remain inside of them but
very few minutes. Undoubtedly, should
perspiration be checked while they were
in this temperature, they would be in great
danger. But the pores are kept open by
drinking, while engaged at work, great
quantities of water mixed with oatmealp
This illustrates in striking manner the
advantages of the California climate, con-
trasted with that OF the Atlantic coast
Thermometrically, our temperature in
the valleys is higher than west of the
Mississippi, but the dryness of the at

more endurable at 1919 than $50 on the
other side of the continent Moreover,

wherein the method was faulty, Weinstock

a card in each box, giving date of packing
and name OF packer, and requesting the
consumer to report any imperfection in
quality OF fruit, etc, when it reaches last
hands. This plan has been found BY this
firm to afford very satisfactory results, and
it is believed could be adopted generally by
California growers with profit Two cards
Just received back from the East, we are
permitted to publish, as showing the work

which come back from those who eat orr

box on the 1st instant was dated, and read
as follows:

small or imperfect fruit, or other irregularities.

THE successful cremation at Los An
geles has led San Francisco journals to
debate the issue between the crematory
and the grave. The Chronicle takes the
affirmative for cremation, and declares that
it is rejected only because of the deep
rooted prejudice in which the people have
been educated by custom. To this the
Examiner takes exception, and declares
that there is much to be said upon both
sides of the question. In fact this is not
defensible allegation. All reason is in
favor of the cremation process. In all
the literature of the subiect-and we
think we have read the most of it-but
one argument outside of pure prejudice
and sentiment is advanced, and that is
that cremation destroys the evidences that
might lead to the detection of crime. If,
for arguments sake, this were admitted,
there remains nothing of practical reason
to be said against the cremation of the
| ninety-nine hundredths who die natural
deaths, in which there can possibly arise
no question of criminal secrecy or dis
covery. Cremation represents hygenic ad-
vance, sanitary progress, economical dis
posal of the dead. Sculpture stands for
decay of the most loathsome order, for
contribution to the causes of disease and
epidemic, for heavy cost to the living
augmentation of human agony, and the
accomplishment by slow and noisome pro
cesses of that which science reaches by
speedy, inofensive and rational methods
for incarceration and decay are in their
ultimate results the same

THE Federal Railroad Commissioners
came to California with the political intent
OF aroslsing the supposed ;inti-railroad sem
timent of the State to degree of aggres-
siveness that would result in placing lau-
rels upon the brows of the Commissioners
and weapons of victory in the hands of the
Democracy. A more miserable failure was
never known. The scheme collapsed ere it
drew its second breath. The people
have manifested as plainly as it is possible
for public opinion to do, that they have
passed over and beyond the stage of I'M
reasoning antagonism to the great railroad
industries, and that they do not propose to
recall the old times of distrust, demagogv
and industrial suicide.

sufficient to seriously embarrass the

matters are, as stated, assuming seri-

lay that he had no more room for the
storing of cars in his yard, which is
totally blocked Under going repairs
in the repair shops are l75 cars with
over one hundred men at work upon

Greagg shows that there are ninety
six engines in use on this division,
aud that eighty men are kept at work
rep firing others all the time.
The passenger traffic Is also, more
than can be handled with ease. The

passing the new depot encountered an
old couple who had arrived the even
ing previous in All excursion from the
East. They came from Minneapolis,
and the man is 76 years old. He has
the advantage in years, but very little
of his wife. They had come over the
y. 2. and G. P. route and came di-
rectly to Los Angeles. So
greatly charmed were they with
the bright day and the clear atmos-
phere, that they took little excur-
sion about the city, then purchased Al
ticket back TO their old home, in order
at once to sell out all they have in the
world, and remove here to spend all
the rest of their days. Their haste is
in order that they may make the trip
home and get back here before the
really bad weather of the winter sets

Captain Gross and Mr.. Crow, the
proprietors OF the dummy railroad
running from this city to Glendale,
have Just returned from trip of in
-pecton along the line OF the route
already surveyed, and of proposed
line to Eagle Rock.
These gentlemen have decided to
make this road a good investment,
ACCORDINGLY they have determined to
extend it from a point three miles
from Glendale, on the San Fernando
wagon road, direct to Eagle Rock val
ley, where they will turn and run
back to Glendale, forming a belt five
miles in circumference in addition to
the road already surveyed.
The rolling-stock. ties, ETC., will be
on hand in two weeks time and soon
everything will he finished. The ad-
ditional part of this road depends on
the size of the bonus the property
owners along the line are willing to
pay. Captain Cross says that many
of them have signifed their willing
ness to subscribe good round sum,
and he feels confident that everything
will proceed rapidlv. .,t
